Sorry amonotod, I don't recall what Michael (Peppler) said about BLK API, but if he said it I'm sure it's true :-) Michael is *the* guy for DBD::Sybase and dare I say one of the most knowledgable DBI, DBD::Sybase, Perl, Sybase, etc. people around. I don't mean to slight any others - there are a lot of excellent people here. My first introduction to Perl DBI was several years ago with Sybase and DBD::Sybase, and Michael was very fast to respond to problems/questions and was very helpful. Too many other excellent people to list here, but since you were wondering about something Michael said I thought I would elaborate a little ;-)

You know, to be more accurate, I am indeed using placeholders, after constucting my sql statement from my field names. Placeholders are a really cool way to do it, I've been getting 300K+ inserts done in less than a minute. I noticed, in the message this morning from M. Peppler, that he mentioned a BLK API, but I've never heard of this before. Does DBI in general support this, or only certain DBDs? > Hardy Merrill Thanks, amonotod (all lower case, btw... :-) -- `\|||/ amonotod@ | subject line: (@@) charter.net | no perl, no read... ooO_(_)_Ooo________________________________ _____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|
